Activity 1 | | We did so many things this school year! Field trips to Hawai’i Nature Center and Children’s Discovery Center. Gingerbread decorating with families and a PJ Movie Day. Learning about volcanoes, rocks, weather, the uka, the kula, and communities. We tried to garden! We grew “seed babies” and ate lunch and snacks together. We built all kinds of things, painted together and by ourselves, and made different vehicles to “drive” around the town we made in the gross motor area. We watched a Chinese New Year puppet show by 3rd grade buddies, and had 4th grade buddies come over to play most Friday afternoons. Draw and write about one or more of your favorite preschool memories! | |
